Mary appears at the Rue du Bac Convent in Paris (II)

There now formed around the Blessed Virgin a frame rather oval in shape on which were written in letters of gold these words: O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to Thee. Then a voice said to me: “Have a medal struck upon this model. All those who wear it, when it is blessed, will receive great graces especially if they wear it round the neck. Those who repeat this prayer with devotion will be in a special manner under the protection of the Mother of God. Graces will be abundantly bestowed upon those who have confidence.”

At the same instant, the oval frame seemed to turn around. Then I saw on the back of it the letter 'M' surmounted by a cross, with a crossbar beneath it, and under the monogram of the name of Mary, the Holy Hearts of Jesus and of His Mother; the first surrounded by a crown of thorns and the second transpierced by a sword. I was anxious to know what words must be placed on the reverse side of the medal and after many prayers, one day in meditation I seemed to hear a voice which said to me: The 'M' with the Cross and the two Hearts tell enough.
